Popular author Aventurine Morrow is working on a biography of Genevieve Smithson, a veteran of the SOE -- Britains network of operatives in occupied France during WWII -- and travels to York, England, to interview the aging survivor. Complicating matters, however, is Aventurines nephew, Paul, who has accompanied her to the U.K. in an attempt to work through the grief of losing his father at sea.
